Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spannungs-Fernprüfer für Prüfungen in Hochspannungs-Energieversorgungsnetzen, insbesondere für die Prüfung von Hochspannungsfreileitungen, mit einem als Stab ausgebildeten Griff, der ein Gerätegehäuse trägt, in dem sich ein Prüfgerät befindet, das auf der dem Griff abgekehrten Seite eine Antenne und auf der dem Griff zugekehrten Seite eine Anzeigeeinrichtung aufweist sowie während der Prüfung mit Erdpotential verbunden ist.The invention relates to a remote voltage tester for tests in high-voltage power supply networks, in particular for the testing of high-voltage overhead lines, with a handle designed as a rod that carries a device housing in which there is a test device that has an antenna on the side facing away from the handle has a display device on the side facing the handle and is connected to earth potential during the test.

Mit den bekannten Spannungs-Fernprüfern dieser Art (DE-B-2 619 999) wird aus größerer Entfernung eine Spannungsprüfung durchgeführt. Der Abstand zwischen dem gegebenenfalls Spannung führenden Leiter und dem Prüfgerät sowie seiner Antenne ist bei der Prüfung so groß, daß eine Isolierung des Gerätegehäuses oder des Griffes nicht notwendig ist. Der kurze Griff ist deshalb bei den bekannten Fernprüfern elektrisch leitend, wodurch eine gute Erdung des Gerätes über die den Griff in der Hand haltende Person erreicht wird. Wegen der Fernmeßmöglichkeit und des kurzen Griffes sind diese Fernprüfer leicht zu handhaben. Sie sind jedoch mit dem Nachteil behaftet, daß Störeinflüsse durch andere Leitungssysteme und durch metallische Bauteile, wie beispielsweise Masten oder Masttraversen, nicht vollständig ausgeschlossen werden können.With the known remote voltage testers of this type (DE-B-2 619 999), a voltage test is carried out from a greater distance. The distance between the possibly live conductor and the test device and its antenna is so great during the test that insulation of the device housing or the handle is not necessary. The short handle is therefore electrically conductive in the known remote testers, whereby a good grounding of the device is achieved by the person holding the handle in his hand. Because of the remote measurement option and the short handle, these remote testers are easy to use. However, they have the disadvantage that interference from other line systems and from metallic components, such as masts or mast traverses, cannot be completely ruled out.

Eine sehr weitgehende Unterdrückung von Störeinflüssen läßt sich mit solchen Spannungsprüfern erreichen, die am einen Ende einer Isolierstange eine Prüfelektrode haben, welche mittels der Stange an den zu prüfenden Leiter herangeführt wird. Bei Prüfarbeiten in Hochspannungsnetzen müssen aber aus Sicherheitsgründen die Isolierstangen dieser Spannungsprüfer eine so große Länge haben, daß die Handhabung unter ungünstigen äußeren Bedingungen, beispielsweise dann, wenn die die Prüfung ausführende Person auf einer Traverse stehen muß, schwierig oder gar gefährlich sein kann.A very extensive suppression of interference can be achieved with such voltage testers that have a test electrode at one end of an insulating rod, which is brought up to the conductor to be tested by means of the rod. For testing work in high-voltage networks, however, the insulating rods of these voltage testers must be long enough for safety reasons that handling under unfavorable external conditions, for example when the person performing the test must stand on a crossbar, can be difficult or even dangerous.

Störeinflüssen durch andere Leitungssysteme und metallische Bauteile ist auch ein anderer, bekannter Fernprüfer ausgesetzt (DE-A-2 042 445), der auf dem Schutzhelm des Benutzers angeordnet ist und bei dem die Verbindung mit dem Erdpotential nicht ausschließlich galvanisch erfolgt, sondern eine kapazitive Ankopplung an den Körper des Schutzhelmträgers vorgesehen ist. Auf die Störempfindlichkeit hat nämlich diese Art der Verbindung mit dem Körper des Benutzers keinen Einfluß.Another known remote tester (DE-A-2 042 445), which is arranged on the protective helmet of the user and in which the connection to the ground potential is not exclusively galvanic, but a capacitive coupling, is also exposed to interference from other line systems and metallic components is provided on the body of the protective helmet wearer. This type of connection with the body of the user has no influence on the sensitivity to interference.

Die sehr weitgehende Unterdrückung von Störeinflüssen bei denjenigen Spannungsprüfern, die mit einer an den zu prüfenden Leiter anzulegenden Prüfelektrode versehen sind, ist unabhängig davon, ob eine Verbindung mit dem Erdpotential über die Hattestange und den diese festhaltenden Benutzer erfolgt oder, wie ebenfalls bekannt (DD-A-80 950) über ein isoliertes, flexibles Kabel.The very extensive suppression of interference with those voltage testers that are provided with a test electrode to be attached to the conductor to be tested is independent of whether a connection to the earth potential is made via the hat rod and the user who is holding it, or, as is also known (DD- A-80 950) via an insulated, flexible cable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, zur Prüfung der Spannung von Freileitungen, die mittels Isolatoren an Traversen aufgehängt sind, ein Gerät zu schaffen, das wegen seiner relativ kleinen Abmessung auch unter ungünstigen Bedingungen ohne Schwierigkeiten zu handhaben ist, das aber auch ohne von der Bedienungsperson zu treffende Maßnahmen. Störeinflüsse zuverlässig ausschaltet. Mit einem Spannungs-Fernprüfer der eingangs genannten Art ist diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Griff elektrisch isolierend ausgebildet ist und daß das Prüfgerät mit einer kapazitiv an ein sich in der Nähe befindendes, geerdetes Bauteil eines Leitungsträgers ankoppelbaren Elektrode und/oder einem freiliegenden Erdungskontakt versehen ist.The invention has for its object to provide a device for testing the voltage of overhead lines which are suspended by means of insulators on trusses, which due to its relatively small size can be handled without difficulty even under unfavorable conditions, but also without the operator measures to be taken. Eliminates interference reliably. With a remote voltage tester of the type mentioned, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the handle is designed to be electrically insulating and in that the tester has an electrode which can be capacitively coupled to a nearby, grounded component of a line carrier and / or an exposed ground contact is provided.

Der Einsatz der erfindungsgemäßen Spannungsprüfers erfolgt in der Weise, daß der Benutzer sich auf die Traverse direkt über die zu prüfende Leitung begibt und das Gerätegehäuse durch die Traverse hindurch bis zu der am traversenseitigen Ende des Isolators vorgesehenen, aus Erdpotential liegenden Schutzarmatur hindurchführt und dann in einer Lage, in welcher diP Antenne auf den zu prüfenden Leiter ausgerichtet ist, den freiliegenden Erdungskontakt oder die Elektrode in Anlage an die Schutzarmatur bringt. Weist das Prüfgerät eine Elektrode auf, so genügt es auch, diese in die Nähe der Schutzarmatur zu bringen.The voltage testers according to the invention are used in such a way that the user goes directly to the crossbar via the line to be tested and the device housing passes through the crossbar to the protective armature located at the crossbar end of the isolator and then in a Position in which the di P antenna is aligned with the conductor under test, brings the exposed earth contact or the electrode into contact with the protective fitting. If the test device has an electrode, it is also sufficient to bring it close to the protective fitting.

Die Antenne spricht dann nur auf denjenigen Leiter an, auf den sie ausgerichtet ist. Störeinflüsse durch andere Systeme oder den Masten können sich dabei auf die Anzeige nicht auswirken. Da der Spannungsprüfer nur dann funktioniert, wenn sein freiliegender Erdungskontakt oder seine Elektrode in Anlage an die Schutzarmatur gebracht wird oder die Elektrode sich zumindest in deren Nähe befindet, ist durch konstruktive Maßnahmen sichergestellt, daß der Benutzer für die Messung das Gerät in die richtige Lage bringt. Außerdem wird vorteilhafterweise die Länge des Griffes so gering gewählt, daß das Gerätegehäuse und die Antenne nur bis in Höhe der traversenseitlgen Schutzarmatur dem zu prüfenden Leiter genähert werden kann. Für den den Griff bildenden Stab genügt daher eine Länge von weniger als einem Meter. Da die gegebenenfalls erforderliche Erdung des Prüfgerätes über den Erdungskontakt oder die Elektrode erfolgt, kann der den Griff bildende Stab elektrisch isolierend sein, wodurch eine zusätzliche Sicherheit für den Benutzer des Spannungsprüfers erreicht wird. Der Benutzer kann deshalb den erfindungsgemäßen Spannungsprüfer sowohl wegen der geringen Länge des den Griff bildenden Stabes als auch wegen dessen Isolierfähigkeit gefahrlos handhaben.The antenna then only responds to the conductor to which it is aimed. Interference from other systems or the masts cannot affect the display. Since the voltage tester only works if its exposed ground contact or its electrode is brought into contact with the protective fitting or the electrode is at least in the vicinity, it is ensured by constructive measures that the user puts the device in the correct position for the measurement . In addition, the length of the handle is advantageously chosen to be so short that the device housing and the antenna can only be approached to the conductor to be tested up to the level of the traverse-side protective fitting. A length of less than one meter is therefore sufficient for the rod forming the handle. Since the test device may need to be grounded via the ground contact or the electrode, the rod forming the handle can be electrically insulating, which provides additional safety for the user of the voltage tester. The user can therefore handle the voltage tester according to the invention safely, both because of the short length of the rod forming the handle and because of its insulating ability.

Der Erdungskontakt kann durch das metallische Gerätegehäuse gebildet sein. Dasselbe gilt für die Elektrode. Man kann aber als Erdungskontakt auch einen Kontaktfinger oder einen Haken vorsehen, welcher vom Gerätegehäuse absteht. Dieses kann dann mit einem elektrisch isolierenden Überzug versehen sein, was auch dann der Fall ist, wenn eine Elektrode vorhanden ist. Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der den Griff bildende Stab teleskopisch verlängerbar ausgebildet. Der Stab kann dann für die Aufbewahrung sowie für den Transport zur Meßstelle auf seine kleinste Länge verkürzt und nur für die Messung auf den Maximalwert verlängert werden.The earth contact can be formed by the metallic device housing. The same applies to the electrode. But you can also use a contact finger or a hook as a ground contact provide which protrudes from the device housing. This can then be provided with an electrically insulating coating, which is also the case if an electrode is present. In a preferred embodiment, the rod forming the handle is designed to be telescopically extendable. The rod can then be shortened to its smallest length for storage and transport to the measuring point and only extended to the maximum value for the measurement.

Zweckmäßigerweise wird eine die Inbetriebnahme des Prüfgerätes nur nach Erfüllung der für eine ordnungsgemäße Handhabung notwendigen Voraussetzungen zulassende Sicherungseinrichtung vorgesehen. Bei diesen Voraussetzungen kann es sich sowohl um die für eine fehlerfreie Spannungsprüfung wichtige Anordnung des Gerätegehäuses als auch um die aus Sicherheitsgründen empfehlenswerte Einstellung der maximalen Länge des den Griff bildenden Stabes bei einer teleskopisch verlängerbaren Ausbildung dieses Stabes handeln.It is expedient to provide a safety device that allows the test device to be started up only after the requirements necessary for correct handling have been met. These prerequisites can be both the arrangement of the device housing which is important for an error-free voltage test and the setting of the maximum length of the rod forming the handle, which is recommended for safety reasons, in the case of a telescopically extendable design of this rod.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform mit einem den Griff bildenden, teieskopisch verlängerbaren Stab weist deshalb an dem relativ zum Gerätegehäuse bewegbaren Stababschnitt, der relativ zu dem fest mit dem Gerätegehäuse verbundenen Stababschnitt um seine Längsachse drehbar ist, eine Sichtblende auf, die von einer bei minimaler Stablänge die Anzeigeeinrichtung abdeckenden Lage durch eine Rotationsbewegung des sie tragenden Stababschnittes relativ zum Gerät in eine den Blick auf die Anzeigeeinrichtung freigebende Stellung bei maximaler Stablänge schwenkbar ist. Durch eine solche Sichtblende, welche vorzugsweise bei minimaler Stablänge auch den Einschaltknopf des Spannungsprüfers abdeckt, kann in einfacher Weise sichergestellt werden, daß der Benutzer nicht in der Lage ist, die Spannungsprüfung auszuführen, ohne vorher den den Griff bildenden Stab auf seine maximale Länge ausgezogen zu haben.An advantageous embodiment with a partially telescopic rod forming the handle therefore has a screen on the rod section that is movable relative to the device housing and that is rotatable about its longitudinal axis relative to the rod section that is fixedly connected to the device housing covering position can be pivoted relative to the device into a position releasing the view of the display device at a maximum rod length by a rotational movement of the rod section carrying it. By means of such a screen, which preferably also covers the switch-on button of the voltage tester with a minimum rod length, it can be ensured in a simple manner that the user is not able to carry out the voltage test without first pulling the rod forming the handle to its maximum length to have.

Zusätzlich oder statt dieser Sichtblende kann die Sicherungseinrichtung einen Schalter aufweisen, der mittels des relativ zu dem fest mit dem Gerätegehäuse verbundenen Stangenabschnitts bewegbaren Stangenabschnitt betätigbar und nur bei maximaler Länge des Stabes geschlossen ist.In addition or instead of this screen, the securing device can have a switch which can be actuated by means of the rod section which is movable relative to the rod section which is fixedly connected to the device housing and which is closed only when the rod is at its maximum length.

Eine Spannungsprüfung kann also erst vorgenommen werden, nachdem der Stab auf seine maximale Länge ausgezogen worden ist. Zusätzlich kann hierbei die Sicherungseinrichtung einen am Gerätegehäuse vorgesehenen, zum Griff hin offenen Haken und eine ständig den Stab zu verkürzen suchende, vorzugsweise im Stab angeordnete.Zugfeder aufweisen. Die Bedienungsperson ist dann gezwungen, den Haken in die Schutzarmatur einzuhängen, um den Stab auf seine maximale Länge verlängern und damit das Prüfgerät einschalten zu können, wodurch zwangsläufig das Gerätegehäuse während der Prüfung in der richtigen Lage gehalten wird. Vorteilhafter Weise wird in diesem Falle dann, wenn das Gerät mit einem Erdungskontakt ausgerüstet ist, dieser durch den Haken gebildet. Im folgenden ist die Erfindung anhand von drei in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen im einzelnen erläutert. Es zeigen :

  • Figur 1 eine teilweise im Schnitt dargestellte Ansicht des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels bei minimaler Grifflänge,
  • Figur 2 eine Ansicht des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels im betriebsbereiten Zustand,
  • Figur 3 eine teilweise im Schnitt dargestellte Ansicht eines zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels,
  • Figur 4 die Anordnung des ersten und zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels während einer Spannungsprüfung.
  • Figur 5 eine schematisch und teilweise in Schnitt dargestellte Ansicht des dritten Ausführungsbeispiels bei minimaler Grifflänge,
  • Figur 6 eine Ansicht des dritten Ausführungsbeispiels im betriebsbereiten Zustand.
A tension test can therefore only be carried out after the rod has been extended to its maximum length. In addition, the securing device can have a hook provided on the device housing, open towards the handle, and a tension spring that is constantly trying to shorten the rod, preferably arranged in the rod. The operator is then forced to hang the hook into the protective fitting in order to extend the rod to its maximum length and thus to be able to switch on the test device, which inevitably keeps the device housing in the correct position during the test. In this case, if the device is equipped with an earth contact, this is advantageously formed by the hook. The invention is explained in detail below with reference to three exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing. Show it :
  • FIG. 1 shows a view, partially in section, of the first exemplary embodiment with a minimal handle length,
  • FIG. 2 shows a view of the first exemplary embodiment in the operational state,

As shown in FIG. 1, the device housing 3 forming a shield has a certain protrusion beyond the glass antenna 6.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel erfolgt nur eine optische Anzeige mittels zweier Lampen. Außerdem trägt der Boden 4 einen vom Benutzer zu betätigenden Schalter 9. Die Abschaltung erfolgt selbsttätig.The bottom 4 carries a display device 8, which optically and / or acoustically indicates the functionality and the voltage state of the conductor to be tested. In the exemplary embodiment there is only an optical display by means of two lamps. In addition, the bottom 4 carries a switch 9 to be operated by the user. The switch-off takes place automatically.

Außermittig steht, wie Fig. 1 zeigt, vom Boden 4 ein parallel zur Längsachse des Gerätegehäuses 3 liegender Verbindungszapfen 10 ab, mit dem das eine Ende eines ersten Isolierrohres 11 fest verbunden ist. Das erste Isolierrohr 11 bildet zusammen mit einem zweiten Isolierrohr 12, das an seinem dem Gerätegehäuse 3 abgekehrten Ende einen Handgriff 13 trägt, einen teleskopisch verlängerbaren Stab. Wenn dieser Stab auf seine maximale Länge ausgezogen ist, beträgt die Länge des Spannungsprüfers, gemessen vom freien Ende des Gerätegehäuses 3 bis zum freien Ende des Handgriffes 13 etwa 1 m. Durch die Verkürzung des Stabes auf seine minimale Länge läßt sich dieser Wert auf etwa 60 cm verringern.Out of the center, as shown in FIG. 1, there is a connecting pin 10, which lies parallel to the longitudinal axis of the device housing 3 and to which one end of a first insulating tube 11 is firmly connected. The first insulating tube 11, together with a second insulating tube 12, which carries a handle 13 at its end remote from the device housing 3, forms a telescopically extendable rod. When this rod is extended to its maximum length, the length of the voltage tester, measured from the free end of the device housing 3 to the free end of the handle 13, is approximately 1 m. By shortening the bar to its minimum length, this value can be reduced to about 60 cm.

Das gegen das Gerätegehäuse 3 weisende Ende des über das erste Isolierrohr 11 übergeschobenen zweiten Isolierrohres 12 trägt, wie Fig. 2 zeigt, eine aus Kunststoff bestehende Abdeckscheide 14, deren Durchmesser etwa gleich dem Durchmesser des Bodens 4 ist. Die parallel zum Boden 4 und damit in einer Radialebene der beiden Isollerrohre 11 und 12 liegende Abdeckscheide wird an einer Stelle vom ersten lsollerrohr 11 durchdrungen, weiche im selben Maße gegenüber dem Zentrum radial versetzt ist wie der Verbindungszapfen 10 gegenüber dem Zentrum des Bodens 4. Die Abdeckscheibe 14 kann deshalb, wie Fig. 1 zeigt, in eine Lage gebracht werden, in weiche sie den Boden 4 und die Anzeigeeinrichtung 8 sowie den Schalter 9 vollständig abdeckt. Damit sie dabei am Boden 4 anliegen kann, ist sie für die Aufnahme der Anzeigeeinrichtung 8 mit einer Kappe 14' und für die Aufnahme des Schalters 9 mit einer Vertiefung versehen. Um die Abdeckscheibe 14 in Anlage an den Boden 4 bringen zu können, muß der aus den beiden Isolierrohren 11 und 12 bestehende Stab auf seine minimale Länge verkürzt werden.The end of the second insulating tube 12 which is pushed over the first insulating tube 11 and which points towards the device housing 3 carries, as shown in FIG. 2, a plastic sheath 14, the diameter of which is approximately is equal to the diameter of the bottom 4. The cover sheath lying parallel to the bottom 4 and thus in a radial plane of the two Isoller tubes 11 and 12 is penetrated at one point by the first Isoller tube 11, which is radially offset to the same extent from the center as the connecting pin 10 is from the center of the bottom 4. Die Cover plate 14 can therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, be brought into a position in which it completely covers the bottom 4 and the display device 8 and the switch 9. So that it can rest on the floor 4, it is provided with a cap 14 'for receiving the display device 8 and with a recess for receiving the switch 9. In order to bring the cover plate 14 into contact with the floor 4, the rod consisting of the two insulating tubes 11 and 12 must be shortened to its minimum length.

In derjenigen Stellung, in welcher die Abdeckscheibe 14 den Boden 4 vollständig abdeckt und an Ihm anliegt, sowie in derjenigen Stellung, in weicher der aus den beiden lsolierrohren 11 und 12 bestehende Stab seine maximale Länge hat und die Abdeckscheibe um 180° verschwenkt ist, damit sie den Zugang zum Schalter 9 und den Blick auf die Anzeigeeinrichtung 8 freigibt, wie dies Fig. 2 zeigt, sind die beiden Isollerrohre 11 und 12 mittels einer Arretiereinrichtung miteinander verriegelbar. Diese Arretiereinrichtung besteht im Ausführungsbeispiel aus einer in dem dem Boden 4 abgekehrten Endabschnitt des ersten Isolierrohres 11 angeordneten Haarnadelfeder 15, deren eines nach außen abgewinkeltes Schenkelende einen Verriegelungsstift 16 trägt. Dieser in einer radialen Bohrung des ersten Isolierrohres 11 geführte Verriegelungsstift kann in Bohrungen od. dgl. des zweiten lsollerrohres 12 einrasten.In the position in which the cover plate 14 completely covers the bottom 4 and bears against it, and in the position in which the rod consisting of the two insulating tubes 11 and 12 has its maximum length and the cover plate is pivoted by 180 °, so that it gives access to the switch 9 and a view of the display device 8, as shown in FIG. 2, the two Isoller tubes 11 and 12 can be locked together by means of a locking device. In the exemplary embodiment, this locking device consists of a hairpin spring 15 arranged in the end section of the first insulating tube 11 facing away from the bottom 4, one of which angled outward leg end carries a locking pin 16. This locking pin, which is guided in a radial bore of the first insulating tube 11, can snap into bores or the like of the second oil tube 12.

Das metallische, außen blanke Gerätegehäuse 3 bildet einen Erdungskontakt des Prüfgerätes, der mit der am traversenseitigen Ende der Isolatoren vorgesehenen Schutzarmatur 17 (Fig. 4) in Berührung gebracht werden muß, um den Spannungsprüfer funktionsfähig zu machen.The metallic, externally bare device housing 3 forms a ground contact of the test device, which must be brought into contact with the protective fitting 17 (FIG. 4) provided at the end of the insulators in order to make the voltage tester functional.

Für eine Spannungsprüfung begibt sich die Bedienungsperson auf die Masttraverse 2 an eine unmittelbar über dem zu prüfenden Leiter 7 liegende Stelle (Fig. 4). Sie verlängert dann den aus den beiden lsoilerrohren 11 und 12 bestehenden Stab auf seine maximale Länge und dreht dabei das zweite lsolierrohr 12 relativ zum ersten Isolierrohr 11 um 180°, damit die Abdeckscheibe 14 von der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Abdeckstellung in die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Freigabestellung kommt. Nun wird das Prüfgerät 5 durch eine Betätigung des Schalters 9 eingeschaltet und durch die Traverse hindurch bis zur Anlage des Gerätegehäuses 3 an der Schutzarmatur 17 gebracht. Die Scheibenantenne 6 wird dann noch, soweit erforderlich, auf den Leiter 7 ausgerichtet. Wegen der relativ geringen Länge des aus den beiden lsolierrohren 11 und 12 und dem Handgriff 13 bestehenden Stabes ist der Benutzer gezwungen, den Spannungsprüfer während der Handhabung für den Prüfvorgang am isolierenden Handgriff 13 zu halten, wodurch eine zusätzliche Sicherheit erreicht wird.For a voltage test, the operator moves onto the mast crossbeam 2 at a point immediately above the conductor 7 to be tested (FIG. 4). It then extends the rod consisting of the two insulator tubes 11 and 12 to its maximum length and rotates the second insulator tube 12 by 180 ° relative to the first insulator tube 11, so that the cover disk 14 moves from the cover position shown in FIG. 1 to the position shown in FIG. 2 release position shown comes. Now the test device 5 is switched on by actuating the switch 9 and brought through the cross member until the device housing 3 comes into contact with the protective fitting 17. The window antenna 6 is then, if necessary, aligned with the conductor 7. Because of the relatively short length of the rod consisting of the two insulating tubes 11 and 12 and the handle 13, the user is forced to hold the voltage tester on the insulating handle 13 during handling for the test process, thereby achieving additional security.

Nach Beendigung der Messung wird der isolierende Stab zweckmäßigerweise für den Rücktransport des Spannungsprüfers wieder auf seine minimale Länge verkürzt.After completion of the measurement, the insulating rod is expediently shortened to its minimum length for the return transport of the voltage tester.

Das in Fig. 3 dargestellte, zweite Ausführungsbeispiel unterscheidet sich von dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel nur hinsichtlich der Ausbildung des Erdungskontaktes und des den Griff bildenden Stabes. Daher werden im folgenden nur diese Unterschiede erläutert. Im übrigen wird auf die Ausführungen zum ersten Ausführungsbeispiel Bezug genommen.The second exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 3 differs from the first exemplary embodiment only with regard to the design of the ground contact and of the rod forming the handle. Therefore, only these differences are explained below. For the rest, reference is made to the statements relating to the first exemplary embodiment.

Wie Fig. 3 zeigt, trägt das metallische Gerätegehäuse 103 auf seiner Außenseite einen elektrisch isolierenden Mantel 118. Es kann deshalb nicht als Erdungskontakt dienen. Daher ist der Erdungskontakt als ein den Mantel 118 durchdringender, radial vom Gerätegehäuse 103 abstehender Kontaktstift 119 ausgebildet, der für die Messung in Anlage an die oberste Schutzarmatur 17 des Isolators gebracht werden muß.As shown in FIG. 3, the metallic device housing 103 has an electrically insulating jacket 118 on its outside. It cannot therefore serve as an earth contact. The grounding contact is therefore designed as a contact pin 119 penetrating the sheath 118 and projecting radially from the device housing 103 and which must be brought into contact with the uppermost protective fitting 17 of the insulator for the measurement.

Ein weiterer Unterschied besteht darin, daß der das Gerätegehäuse 103 tragende Stab ein längenunveränderbares Isolierrohr 111 mit Griff 113 ist, dessen Länge entsprechend der maximalen Länge des aus den Isolierrohren 11 und 12-des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels gebildeten Stabes gewählt ist.A further difference is that the rod carrying the device housing 103 is a non-variable insulating tube 111 with a handle 113, the length of which is selected in accordance with the maximum length of the rod formed from the insulating tubes 11 and 12 of the first exemplary embodiment.

Das in den Figuren 5 und 6 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel ist weitgehend wie dasjenige gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2 ausgebildet. Daher sind sich entsprechende Teile mit um 200 größeren Bezugszahlen gekennzeichnet und im folgenden nur die Unterschiede erläutert. Soweit dieses dritte Ausführungsbeispiel nicht im einzelnen beschrieben ist, ist es also wie dasjenige gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2 ausgebildet.The exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is largely designed like that according to FIGS. 1 and 2. Corresponding parts are therefore marked with 200 larger reference numbers and only the differences are explained below. Insofar as this third exemplary embodiment is not described in detail, it is designed like that according to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Der Schalter 209, der geschlossen werden muß, um das elektronische Prüfgerät funktionsfähig zu machen, wird nicht wie bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2 mittels einer Drucktaste betätigt. Vielmehr ist, wie Fig. 6 zeigt, sein Betätigungsglied 209', das in das fest mit dem Gerätegehäuse 203 verbundene erste Isolierrohr 211 hineinragt, über eine Zugfeder 217, die ebenfalls im ersten Isolierrohr 211 angeordnet ist, mit dem einen Ende eines Zugseiles 218 verbunden, dessen anderes Ende im Inneren des Handgriffes 213 festgelegt ist, der an dem dem Gerätegehäuse 203 abgekehrten Ende des zweiten lsolierrohres 212 vorgesehen ist. Das zweite Isolierrohr 212 übergreift das erste Isolierrohr 211 und bildet zusammen mit diesem einen teleskopisch verlängerbaren, elektrisch isolierenden Stab. Die Länge des Zugseils 218 ist so gewählt, daß es die Zugfeder 217 zu spannen beginnt, kurz ehe die maximale Länge des Stabes erreicht ist. Der Schalter 209, den eine nicht dargestellte Rückstellfeder in der geöffneten Stellung zu halten sucht, ist deshalb nur dann und so lange geschlossen, als der den Griff bildende Stab auf seine maximale Länge ausgezogen ist. Nur dann verbindet nämlich der Schalter 209 das Prüfgerät 205 mit der nicht dargestellten, die Energiequelle bildenden Batterie.The switch 209, which must be closed in order to make the electronic test device functional, is not actuated by means of a push button, as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2. Rather, as shown in FIG. 6, its actuating member 209 ', which projects into the first insulating tube 211, which is fixedly connected to the device housing 203, is connected to one end of a pulling cable 218 via a tension spring 217, which is also arranged in the first insulating tube 211 , the other end of which is fixed inside the handle 213, which is provided on the end of the second insulating tube 212 facing away from the device housing 203. The second insulating tube 212 overlaps the first insulating tube 211 and forms together with this a telescopically extendable, electrically insulating rod. The length of the pull cable 218 is selected so that it begins to tension the tension spring 217 shortly before the maximum length of the rod is reached. The switch 209, which a return spring (not shown) tries to hold in the open position, is therefore only closed for as long as the one forming the handle Rod is extended to its maximum length. Only then does switch 209 connect test device 205 to the battery (not shown) that forms the energy source.

Die Sicherungseinrichtung, welche eine Inbetriebnahme des Spannungsprüfers nur zulässt, wenn der durch die beiden Isolierrohre 211 und 212 gebildete Stab auf seine maximale Länge ausgezogen ist, weist außer dem Schalter 209 noch die Abdeckscheibe 214 auf, welche an dem dem Gerätegehäuse 203 zugekehrten Ende des zweiten Isolierrohres 212 vorgesehen ist und wie bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2 den Blick des Benutzers auf die Anzeigeeinrichtung 208 nur dann freigibt, wenn der Stab auf seine maximale Länge ausgezogen und das zweite Isolierrohr 212 um 180° relativ zum ersten Isolierrohr 211 geschwenkt worden ist. In der in Fig. 5 dargestellten Transportstellung, in welcher der Stab auf seine minimale Länge verkürzt ist, deckt die Abdeckscheibe 214 die dem Handgriff 213 zugekehrte Seite des Gerätegehäuses 203 vollständig ab. Eine Kappe 214' überdeckt dabei die Anzeigeeinrichtung 8.The safety device, which only allows the voltage tester to be put into operation when the rod formed by the two insulating tubes 211 and 212 is extended to its maximum length, has, in addition to the switch 209, the cover plate 214, which on the end of the second side facing the device housing 203 Insulating tube 212 is provided and, as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, only releases the user's view of the display device 208 when the rod has been extended to its maximum length and the second insulating tube 212 has been pivoted through 180 ° relative to the first insulating tube 211 is. In the transport position shown in FIG. 5, in which the rod is shortened to its minimum length, the cover disc 214 completely covers the side of the device housing 203 facing the handle 213. A cap 214 'covers the display device 8.

An dem metallischen, zylindrischen Gerätegehäuse 203 ist seitlich ein metallischer, zum Handgriff 213 hin offener Haken 219 befestigt, welcher den Erdungskontakt bildet. Der Hakten 219 stellt also die als Voraussetzung für eine Inbetriebnahme des Spannungsprüfers notwendige Erdung her, wenn er in den in Fig. 4 dargestellten, geerdeten Schutzring eingehängt wird. Gleichzeitig hält er das Gerätegehäuse 203 in der für die Messung optimalen Position.A metallic hook 219, which is open towards the handle 213 and which forms the grounding contact, is attached to the side of the metallic, cylindrical device housing 203. The hook 219 thus produces the grounding necessary as a prerequisite for starting up the voltage tester when it is hooked into the grounded protective ring shown in FIG. 4. At the same time, he holds the device housing 203 in the optimal position for the measurement.

Selbstverständlich könnte der Haken 219 auch nur der Positionierung des Gerätegehäuses bei der Messung dienen und das Prüfgerät 205 über eine Elektrode an den vom Haken 219 erfassten, geerdeten Schutzring angekoppelt sein. Diese Elektrode könnte ebenfalls durch den Mantel des Gerätegehäuses 203 gebildet werden. Dieser Mantel wäre dann aber mit einer Isolierschicht überzogen, und auch der Haken 219 wäre gegenüber dieser Elektrode isoliert.Of course, the hook 219 could also only serve to position the device housing during the measurement and the test device 205 could be coupled via an electrode to the grounded protective ring captured by the hook 219. This electrode could also be formed by the jacket of the device housing 203. This jacket would then be covered with an insulating layer, and the hook 219 would also be insulated from this electrode.

Ferner wäre es möglich, zusätzlich zu der Zugfeder 217 in den beiden Isolierrohren 211 und 212 eine zweite Zugfeder anzuordnen, welche ständig den durch die beiden Isolierrohre gebildeten Stab auf seine minimale Länge zu verkürzen suchen würde. Die Bedienungsperson müßte dann während der Messung ständig auf den Griff 213 eine Zugkraft ausüben, wodurch sichergestellt wäre, daß der Haken 219 in Anlage am Schutzring gehalten würde.Furthermore, it would be possible to arrange a second tension spring in addition to the tension spring 217 in the two insulating tubes 211 and 212, which would constantly seek to shorten the bar formed by the two insulation tubes to its minimum length. The operator would then have to constantly exert a pulling force on the handle 213 during the measurement, which would ensure that the hook 219 would be held in contact with the guard ring.
